WHITE FLY IN PIiANT HOUSES. ] 



Can you tell me of some means of i 

 exterminating the moth-like little flies 

 that have infested our lantanas, stevias ' 

 and fuchsias f M. J. H. 



The pest you have is undoubtedly the 

 white fly, which is particularly partial 

 to the plants you name, as well as to 

 show pelargoniums, nasturtiums, calceo- 

 larias, cinerarias and some other plants. 

 Persistent spraying with common soap 

 and water, one pound to flve gallons ol 

 water, mitigates the nuisance consid- 

 erably. Aphine and flr tree oil are 

 other good remedies. 



The only sure way of cleaning out the 

 pest under glass is to use hydrocyanic 

 acid gas. The formula for this has 

 frequently, appeared in The Review, but 

 I might say that the following strength 

 has proved sufficient to kill this pest: 

 One and one-fourth ounces of ninety- 

 eight per cent potassium cyanide, two 

 and one-fourth ounces of sulphuric acid 

 and three and one-half ounces of water 

 for each 3,000 cubic feet. To flnd the 

 cubic contents of your house, multiply 

 the length by the breadth and this 

 again by the average height. Use stone 

 jars for fumigating and select a cool 

 night for the operation. First pour in 

 the, water; then add the acid. Each 

 jar being thus prepared, drop in the 

 cyanide, which should be wrapped in 

 paper. Get out of the house as quickly 

 as possible after dropping in the cya- 

 nide; lock the door and allow no one 

 to enter the same night. Use extreme 

 care not to inhale any of the gas, as it 

 is deadly. 



The dose mentioned is for an all-
